Brag about their child's academic achievement over and over? My mom's friend always raves about how well her son is doing in school, how smart he is, how fast he went through puberty, how he has a girlfriend, etc. I want to punch her in the mouth and tell her to shut up. This causes my parents to get on my case and use him as a standard of how well I should do in everything.

Yup. We know this one lady, who ALWAYS brags about her kids. And I understand big accomplishments, but she throws EVERYTHING in our faces about her kids. It's really annoying.

How fast he went through puberty?!?! What, did she make him pull down his pants periodically and check to see if grass was on the field yet? :Q :D

Yeah, I know someone like that, most of the time it is a friggin lie, but my parents never did realize that. Caused me several headaches from lectures I didn't need. If I ever run into that bitch or her stupid kid I might just punch them in the mouth.

Face it, you can't beat traditions. :D

ditto

to asian parents, their children's (esp academic) achievements = everything

Well, he will be attending UCI in the fall.


And the point being??? He's gonna be in the same college as you are??? If so, you're screwed if your GPA is lower than him. :D

Screw him. He'll probably end up getting smacked down by someone who takes exception to his "holier than thou" attitude.
